Pressing Notes

The jacket used for the images on this page was from the first run of the printed jackets. DiscoVision included the
Stereo markings on a sticker affixed to the shrink-wrap. Subsequent printings of the jacket included a red
banner across the upper right corner of the jacket. Acceptable sides 3 & 4 are hard to find, but not impossible.
The only actual dialog in the entire film is from the late George Burns who provides the running narrative.
Everything else is done strictly through song, much like Jesus Christ Superstar, although
that film contains no spoken dialog at all.

The transfer is really quite good despite the 2.35:1 theatrical image is so poorly represented. The audio decodes
cleanly into Dolby Surround, but has very little in the rear channels which stands out and there is hardly any
left-right directionality.
